Honda T.T. Legends Team Established

John McGuinness, Keith Amor and Steve Plater will compete in the 2011 Endurance World Championship for a new Honda team.

The trio will ride under the banner "The Honda T.T. Legends".

McGuinness and Amor will represent the team at selected international road races, including the T.T..

However, two-time T.T. winner Steve Plater will concentrate solely on the Endurance World series and has been appointed Race Coordinator.

The new initiative has been launched by Honda Motor Europe but will be based at Louth in Lincolnshire - the same operation which controls Honda's British Superbike Championship effort.
